Saini Vineyards Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2017
About the wine
Stunning, sultry, old vine Zinfandel from a legacy winemaking family in Dry Creek Valley
- Dark fruit flavors of juicy, ripe blackberry and raspberry dance on a sultry, velvety smoothness, backed by touches of toasty oak, for an old vine Zin that has ‘decadent’ written all over it.
- For quintessential Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, look no further! Sourced from a handful of old-vine blocks on the Saini Ranch, this Zin showcases the highest quality of this famed corner of Sonoma wine country.
- “We’re so proud to share this wine with you,” the Sainis say. “It offers you a small taste to this special spot we love in Dry Creek Valley. Enjoy!”
Best before
With time this wine will develop some interesting claret-like elements.
Serving advice
Temperature is an interesting opportunity with Zinfandel. On a hot day you can lightly chill (60ºF or so) and the fruit still shines. Mostly be mindful not to let the wine become too warm (75ºF+) as this can make any red wine seem 'hot' as it brings forward the impression of alcohol.
Food match
Savory and spicy dishes go wonderfully with Zinfandel. Any type of grilled meat is great, especially Italian sausages.
